The world is using fossil fuels to fuel there cars, homes, lawn mowers ect. These fuels are limited and we are using them up, so we as Americans must find an alternate fuel. Hydrogen can work as that alternative fuel. Hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table and is the simplest element. It is the H in H2O, also known as water. This fuel produces no pollution and is way more efficient than gasoline. Here are some facts that the world needs to know in order to make a change for the good.
Hydrogen comes from molecules called Hydrocarbon by heating, a process called fossil fuel reforming
Comes form natural gas
You can get Hydrogen by H2O into its elements, a process called electrolysis
Some algae and bacteria give off hydrogen
HOW IT WORKS
Electrolysis
A chemical decomposition reaction made by passing an electric current through a compound containing ions. This is an easy way for one to get hydrogen, and it is very easy to do.
